The Joint Intelligence Committee was created in 1936 to remedy the lack of centralisation in British intelligence, and to ensure that the best possible assessments were provided to military planners.Though it occupied a peripheral position in the inter-war period, it quickly rose in prominence during the Second World War, and from 1942 was involved in every defining moment of the war.Its post-war future was secured by 1944 and a succession of able chairman ensured its role as a crucial facet of decision-making.This article charts these developments and focusses on the expansion of intelligence as a function of central government
